The casting is marked American S.M.&T St. Louis. The handle turns something that is missing, possibly a grinding wheel? The angled wheel is raised and lowered by a lever that may connect by chain or cable to a foot pedal? My initial thought is that it might be related to valve grinding... ideas?

I believe it's for turning (rolling) an edge on a panel prior to 'hemming'.
